Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly prevalent in radiotherapy, including commercial software solutions for automatic segmentation of anatomical structures for 3D Computed Tomography (CT). However, their use in intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) remains limited. In particular, no AI solution is available for contouring cone beam CT (CBCT) images acquired with a mobile CBCT device. The U-Net convolutional neural network architecture has gained huge success for medical image segmentation but still has difficulties capturing the global context. To increase the accuracy in CBCT segmentation for IOERT, three different AI architectures were trained and evaluated. The features of the natural language processing models Transformer and xLSTM were added to the popular U-Net architecture and compared with the standard U-Net and manual segmentation performance. These networks were trained and tested using 55 CBCT scans obtained from breast cancer patients undergoing IOERT in the department of radiotherapy and radiation oncology in Salzburg, and each architecture's segmentation performance was assessed using the dice coefficient (DSC) as a similarity measure. The average DSC values were 0.83 for the standard U-Net, 0.88 for the U-Net with transformer features, and 0.66 for the U-Net with xLSTM. The hybrid U-Net architecture, including Transformer features, achieved the best segmentation accuracy, demonstrating an improvement of 5% on average over the standard U-Net, while the U-Net with xLSTM showed inferior performance compared to the standard U-Net. With the help of automatic contouring, synthetic CT images can be generated, and IOERT challenges related to the time-consuming nature of 3D image-based treatment planning can be addressed.
